Yes, Victoria!I do love the way Charles Delaware Troll dealt with that particular storyline. [hall2_grin]
And just remember...in true soap fashion, they never found her body and there is no grave... [supergrin]
Carl Collins. Definately Carl Collins.Yes, change Carl Collins fate! Most definitely.
I'd change Morgan's fate. [spoiler]I'd kill him MUCH sooner![/spoiler] >:D
Vicki would still be alive-vicki would still be alive--Vicki would still be alive-Vicki would still.....(worst descision DS made was killing her off!) [hall2_sad] [hall_sad]

I think your answer is hilarious!!
Vicki would still be alive-vicki would still be alive--Vicki would still be alive-Vicki would still.....(worst descision DS made was killing her off!)
Agreed and I'd finish the plot of who she was... she worked so hard to find out only to be [spoiler]pushed of Widow's Hill by ... Jeb? No way!![/spoiler]
I'd show up at the Crypt in the bright light of day and drive a railroad spike through the eldest member of the Collins Family......
Why, thanks. But I was completely serious! >:D
Definately Julia...in the end I would have liked to see her get her man!!
Well there is quite a bit fanfiction where Julia DOES get her man
I would have preferred if the likable and avuncular Sam Evans had not been killed.[hall2_angry]
I would have preferred if the likable and avuncular Sam Evans had not been killed. (Of course, Barnabas commissioning Sam to "age" that portrait of Angelique, resulting in Sam's blindness, was an absolute stroke of "genius" by Mr. B., imho.) [hall2_angry]

I don't believe Barnabas meant any harm to come to Sam and he did realize it had been a mistake to involve him, but unfortunately it was too little too late by then. [hall_embarrassed]
Yeah, I too hated the abrupt, unseen and unexplained departures of Chris and Amy too. I really cared about what happened these two and to have the writers just drop their whole story without any kind of closure was an insult.
Hey, this was nothing new to DC or his writers! They just DROPPED the whole 'Vickie searching for her mother' plotline once Barnabas showed up. That really pissed me off! >:(
You're right, they're dropping Vicki's whole parentage storyline was equally as bad. Poor Vicki never did find out who she was or where she came from.
I always like to think Elizabeth was her mother but for some reason Elizabeth had been forced to give her up. It's too bad the writers couldn't have followed through on this. :(
I rather liked the idea that Vicki and Jeff had children back in the 18th century, and that Victoria was their descendant.
I agree, and there's a .wav file out there somewhere in cyberspace of Joan Bennett saying something like [spoiler]'Speaking as Elizabeth, yes, I am Vicki's mother.' There's also the often-told story of one of the reasons AM might have gotten the part was that she had a similar look to Joan Bennett[/spoiler] Maybe that's not really a spoiler, but it's not like it takes rocket science to unveil it, lol!
I shared my idea with Betsy Durkin when I met her at this year's fest in NY and she was very encouraging. She had obviously thought long and hard about the character and was very interested to hear my theories. (If anyone has an opportunity to meet Ms. Durkin at a future Fest or book signing, please do so. She's a VERY warm and sincere person. Everybody I encountered at the Fest and after who met her says,"Did you meet Betsy Durkin? She so sweet! I LOVE her!!!)
...I still don't buy that she was really Vickie's mother. If you've seen the pre-Barn eps, just look at [spoiler]the portrait of Betty Hanscomb who Vickie could be a clone of! I think Liz was her sister, that her father slept w/Betty, daughter of the butler Hanscombe and voila![/spoiler]Yes, I knew about that (lovely girl, terrible what happened) but my LIPS are SEALED until I finish the Vicki part of my saga. [read3]
I would have loved for him to become a regular character and to have a counterpart in 1795.
But what would his 1970PT counterpart been like? ... Hmmm - perhaps he could have been the Collinses dreadfully dull accountant.
But, we already had the dullard of 1970 PT in Cyrus Longworth!
Maybe in PT he could have been carrying on an affair w/Carolyn Loomis!
I always thought Michael & Nancy had pretty good chemistry
PTBuzz would have been the classic view of accountants taken to the extreme
one of the biggest misconceptions about the show is that barnabas was somehow invloved in burke's plane crash.Oh, I know he wasn't involved with Burke's death. I just thought it was so oddly random that Barnabas wants Burke out of the way and then voila!
he wasn't.

And Barn ... was far more psychologically abusive.
And Barn ... was far more psychologically abusive.
Barnabas? Psychologically abusive? Have you ever got that right! And in particular during '68 when it came to Willie, Barn brought psychological abuse to an art form, especially during the second experiment!
Barnabas was a bastard, period. (but, I still love him, guess both Julia and I are saps, LOL! ;))
I rather liked the idea that Vicki and Jeff had children back in the 18th century, and that Victoria was their descendant.
well, the door was left open, so who knows, she may have returned in some way to `1971...
This is a toughie. I would like to have had Willie NOT go into Windcliffe. For you see, he is such an interesting character...when he came back from Windcliffe he was far more soft. Before he had a street toughness about him. After, not so much. He was still sweet, but he was so messed up and fragile, I feared for him more than I had before. And Barn, while less physically abusive (it seemed to me) was far more psychologically abusive. Oh wait...this answer is about Willie not Barn!
Of course, I would like to have Willie not open that dratted coffin! But then we wouldn't even really have a story, would we. [hall2_tongue]
